Directors Fnrmulate Pnlil: N THE hands of the Board of Education were many prohlems which had to he solved liefore Normandy could continue in its varied courses and actixities. On the Board were capahle men with many ideas on how t ak o nm e Normandy a hetter and more efficient school. This year a new member was elected to the Board who eontrihuted his suffff ,, . ,ges- tions in helping to plan the yearis activities. These men were happy to see the levy passed which would enalmle them to add a new wing on the ,lunior High, greatly needed for the tremendous numlier of students coming in the very near future. The lioardis activities were many and varied and out of these the most important were tlt to legis- late and estalmlish general policiesg t2t to elect Page Ten and reject employeesg l3t to regulate the finances of the school tso as to give the students the lmest in education and food for the least possilxle cost to the communityg and t4t to supervise good health and scholastic standards. The Boardis interest was to make the hest pos- sihle system for the students' welfare in their com- munity so as to prepare a hetter future for tomor- rowis students. They succeeded in their hopes that every year would he lietter and finer for every citizen concerned. ln the past, as well as during this year, the Boardis untiring efforts and plans proved to he the lmesl in preparing the students to liecome hetter and useful citizens. To these men we owe a vote of gratitude in giving us the lu-st that a school could oller its students.
